I've never been on twitter, but I think Stephen Fry described it as a micro blog. It sounds like a good because you can follow so many interesting people in there. Someone I know is doing a bike ride from Cornwall to Scotland and he's using twitter to let everyone know how it's going.

I have a twitter account, but I'm not using it. I suppose I should since I hear so much about twitter. I think facebook also has a section where you can briefly state what you are doing on a day to day bases. Isn't this the same as twitter?

I think one of the big differences between Facebook and Twitter is that you can follow a celebrity or politician on Twitter, for example,I follow Stephen Fry, and President Obama. Facebook is more about staying connected with peopleyou know. Also, the short word limit on twitter makes you think more abuot what you wnt to say.

Twitter isn't really about a status update it's more about getting information to people. If you follow people you can all take part in a big conversation. I follow Kevin Spacey and it's fascinating to read his updates about what scenes his filming today and where (It's called 'Casino Jack' by the way). I think Twitter and Facebook are very very different.

I agree with you. Twitter is more about status updates without other applications. It is more interactive especially to those who loves to blog. Facebook on the other hand is one big app with a lot of small apps that will let one explore social networking even better.
